Boxing Credibility Soars as Bullshitting Madman Who
Thinks He's Muhammid Ali Emerges As 'Great Hope of Boxing in this
Country'
Redfern, Saturday:
Jeff Fenech's assertions that
Anthony 'The Man' Mundine is the
'great hope of boxing in
Australia' have amused many
who make a living from taking the piss out of him.
On top of his
statements that Mundine would need a sledgehammer to beat
defenceless journeyman pug Ian McLeod, his ill-fated $10,000 bet
with Tony Mundine, and a self-deprecating photo in the Sun-Herald
of Fenech cracking an egg on his face, many feel it is Fenech,
not Mundine, who is the great hope of boxing in this country.
"It's just
what boxing needs at this delicate juncture in the promotion of the
Sweet Science," mumbled Arthur Tunstall through a mouthfull of
corn coblets.
"There's as
much credibility in boxing as feminists who get a kick out of my
various witticisms."
"So we may as well have a laugh! Hey? Get in a
bit of old-fashioned slapstick and hi-jinks, rather than any
ridiculous affectations that it's fair dinkum."
"And who better to get the punters in than a
Muhammid Ali impersonator and a bloke who bet 10 grand on a bloke
with less boxing skill than Stephen Hawking?"
"I personally can't wait until Mundine fights in
France. I just hope I don't die laughing."
